Biography
Born in Clevland, Ohio he came to the attention of the authorities when he refused to comply with the mutant registration act. Due to his powers the police were unable to secure him and thus Battlestar and the New Captain America were called in. He managed to injure Battlestar as he tried to make his escape but was ultimately cornered and defeated. While he was being carted off in handcuffs he pleaded that he was not a mutant though those pleas fell on deaf ears.
He was later rescued by the Resistants and became a member [Captain America, vol. 1 #343]. They fought against Captain America and Battlestar a few more times. Under the control of Doctor Doom he later fought the Fantastic Four while they were at a hearing. Quill was defeated and sent to the superhuman prison “The Vault” [Fantastic Four vol. 1 #335].
Quill was one of many mutants who were de-powered during M-Day [New Avengers Vol.1 #18].
